Hi, i understand -- thats one reason why I prefer the command-line :-) A solution maybe to change the locations in that way that the dsmc/dsm Programm is in the same Directory/filesystem where your option Files and Include/exclude File is located. Using this ( default ) location won't get you into trouble. For example when running multiple '*SM-nodes' in one machine it is important to have strict separation i think. So a solution may be: if not loacted on system-disk the Config + include/exclude-file ( + possibly symboliclinks to dsmc /dsm when using multiple *SM-nodes on one machine ) should be located together on the same filesystem to avoid this happening and then maybe needed to be restored first (if you don't have a copy elsewhere) prior to the restore of the crashed Filesystem.
